With over 260 years of scholarship, discretion, and trusted client relationships, we are uniquely positioned to achieve the best outcome for you.
Tell us about the artwork — artist, title, medium, dimensions, and any known provenance. Share as much or as little as you know.
Add clear photographs of the work. Images help our specialists assess condition, quality, and attribution more accurately.
Choose the service you need, confirm your details, and submit. A specialist will review your submission and respond in due course.
A confidential assessment of your work's current market value, informed by Colnaghi's scholarship and knowledge of recent comparable sales.
If you wish to sell, Colnaghi can represent your work privately or through selected channels, drawing on relationships with collectors, institutions, and the broader market.
Our team can advise on conservation, attribution research, and collection management — whether or not you are considering a sale.
Over 260 years of experience in the international art market, with deep knowledge across all major periods and categories.
Established relationships with major museums, institutions, and private collectors worldwide.
Access to discreet sale opportunities unavailable through public auction, ensuring the right outcome for every work.
Dedicated specialists across Old Masters, Drawings, Antiquities, African Art, Sculpture, and more.
Full support from initial valuation through to completed transaction, with guidance at every stage.
A discreet, relationship-led approach — no unnecessary exposure of client information or circumstances.
All information shared with Colnaghi is treated in strict confidence. We will never disclose details of your enquiry, your works, or your circumstances to any third party without your explicit consent. Our advisers are bound by strict professional standards of discretion in every client relationship.
Once you submit your enquiry with details and photographs of your work, one of our specialists will review the information and provide an initial assessment. Depending on the work, we may request additional images or arrange an in-person viewing. Our valuations are informed by current market conditions, recent comparable sales, and our deep art-historical knowledge. The entire process is handled in strict confidence.
You will receive a confirmation email with a reference number. A member of the Colnaghi team will then review your submission and respond in due course. We may follow up with questions or request additional information to assist with our assessment.
We aim to respond to all enquiries as soon as possible, following review by our specialists. For more complex works requiring specialist research, the assessment may take a little longer. We will keep you informed throughout the process.
Colnaghi primarily deals in historical works — Old Masters, Drawings, Antiquities, African Art, and Sculpture. If you are a contemporary artist looking to sell your own work, we may not be the best fit. However, we are happy to discuss your situation and, where possible, suggest alternative avenues.
Absolutely. All information shared with Colnaghi is treated in strict confidence. We will never disclose details of your enquiry, your works, or your personal circumstances to any third party without your explicit consent. Discretion is a cornerstone of how we work.
